YouTuber Kakwang, Confirmed to Have Appeared on 'Curious Stories Y' 16 Years Ago Amid Abuse Controversy Over Female Guest

SBS's "Curious Stories Y" is set to uncover the hidden reality behind YouTuber Kakwang, who sparked controversy with abusive behavior toward a female guest.

Airing at 8:50 PM tonight (November 6), SBS's "Curious Stories Y" will shed light on the full story behind the violent live broadcasts by Kakwang, who boasts 470,000 subscribers.

Recently, Kakwang drew widespread public outrage by live-streaming shocking actions during a local broadcast in Thailand, which included severe verbal abuse, physical assaults, forced drinking, and even breaking the crutches that the female guest was using.

The victim, alias Hyun-ji, managed to secretly contact a friend and was narrowly rescued with the help of the embassy. Right after returning to Korea, she retained a lawyer and announced plans to file a complaint. However, just two days later, she cut off contact with those who tried to help her and disappeared, only to reappear on a birthday party broadcast hosted by Kakwang—the very person accused of the abuse—offering the absurd explanation that "there was no abuse and it was all staged." Questions are mounting over the background behind her sudden change of attitude in just 48 hours.

Kakwang, who has continued his abusive broadcasts to secure donations, turned out to be a boy who appeared on "Curious Stories Y" 16 years ago. Why is it that even after a long time, he still treats the production team as subjects for internet live streaming and remains trapped in the internet world, commercializing bizarre behaviors?

The real story hidden behind the violent live broadcasts of 470,000-subscriber YouTuber Kakwang will be revealed on "Curious Stories Y," airing tonight, Friday, at 8:50 PM.
